The emotional scale refers to the subjective feelings of the individual; the affinity scale refers to his relation with other people. The affinity scale may refer, at any particular time, to just one, or to a small number of people. But as affinity is suppressed repeatedly, the individual will begin to take on an habitual tone level on the affinity scale, an habitual reaction to almost all people.
